Hi Charles,
While I'm not an expert, I recently had my ribs
rolled and had to weld them because the Grade 70 steel is NOT available in
anything except plate.
If your spec calls for mils steel, then you may be
able to do as you are atempting.
I originaly planned this method, but changed plans
because of the steel type and also the T sections available were not available
in the specific sizes I needed.
Best Regards,
Jim Kocourek

Reinforcing Ribs
Hello
Group,
I
know this has been talked about on the list before, but I figured it would be
ok to start the thread again.
The
K-350 reinforcing rips are two pieces welded together to form a ?T? I
have a machine shop that can roll these pieces out of ?T? stock leg out.
I would assume it would have the same purpose as what the original design
calls for. Does anyone have any feedback on this?
Also,
for those who have built a hull, did you actually machine the OD true?
Or just weld the gaps between the rings and the hull?
Thank
you for your help.
Charles
